Praise for EATING THE ALPHABET: "Ehlert's eye-catching alphabet book splashes exuberant colors across each page. Cut shapes drenched in assorted hues are assembled into brilliant fruits and vegetables, with each page becoming an eclectic display of produce that corresponds to a letter of the alphabet." Booklist STARRED REVIEW "The watercolor illustrations...seem to grow off the page in bursts of health and freshness as they capture the very essence of each food." The Horn Book Praise for PLANTING A RAINBOW: "A graphic celebration of planting a glorious flower garden. Bulbs planted in the fall and seeds and seedlings set out in the spring mature into a riot of color....The book's simple concept is effectively executed; this begs to be shared with youngsters...."
